Notes
VINEYARD: The Domaine des Homs is located in the heart of the Minervois, between Carcassonne and Narbonne. Vineyards are on terraces made up of soils consisting of sharp‐edged and weathered clay rocks. The climate is Mediterranean with particularly hot summers. The Tramontaine wind drives out any humidity, establishing very favorable conditions for organic viticulture. The vineyard is certified organic.
VINIFICATION: Softly pressed and naturally settled under cold temperature (10 to 12°C) – it takes 3 days to obtain a clear must. The fermentation is made under temperature‐controlled conditions: 17 ‐18°C. 30% of the must ferments in barrel, the rest in vat, for 3 to 4 weeks . Then blended and bottled in the Spring.
TASTING NOTES: Bright, with clean fruit, and easy-drinking.
